Hello,

A provider is billing CPT 93926 duplex scan lower extremity limited or unliat lower extremity study and CPt 93922 lower bilat abi study, would it be correct to remove the charge for CPT 93922 -

For CPT 93922 when the report states non-compressible distal vessels prevents abi Reporting, right sharp monophasic flow at the ankle, lower extremity imaging not performed. Left no velocity increases found imaged lower extremity arteries. Sharp monophasic flow at the dorsalis pedis and peroneal at the ankle; broad monophasic flow at the posterior tibial at the ankle. There are findings of the left femoral through peroneal arteries values documented.

I feel I should only bill CPT 93926, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
